Chapter 58 Magic Patent
As soon as he finished speaking, Luke frowned and muttered to himself with some difficulty:
"However, this is the first time I've heard of someone applying for a magic patent after perfectly mastering magic... There's no precedent for this pricing."
For veteran mages who have been immersed in magic for many years, achieving perfect mastery of magic is not uncommon.
However, the development of magic is an extremely long process. Generally, it involves discovering incomplete magical knowledge from nature and continuously refining it through the exploration of several generations. Once a scholar has perfectly mastered it, they can further invent new and higher-level magic based on it, apply for a patent for this new magic, and then repeat this process of continuously researching and perfecting magic.
Therefore, the magic possessed by those who hold magical patents is often the most incomplete.
However, their status remains exceptional. According to the Magic Convention, the first person to discover and register magic enjoys permanent naming rights and a lifetime patent right.
In summary, the development of magic is a process from incomplete to complete. It is almost impossible for a completely new magic to exist that is fully known from the outset and completely mastered by the discoverer.
"Lynn, how did you discover and learn this magic?" Luke asked with a serious expression.
Lynn was taken aback, and hesitated for a moment before answering, "Less than a month ago, I unfortunately bought a fake magic potion. After drinking it, I became delirious and almost died. I was bedridden for a week before I recovered. Only after I recovered did I realize that I had somehow mastered this new magic."
As he spoke, he shook his head with a wry smile.
But in fact, this answer was something he had prepared long ago. Everything he said was true, and even magic that could detect lies could not disprove it.
Luke listened attentively and couldn't help but chuckle.
A blessing in disguise? This kid narrowly escaped death to obtain this first-level magic by sheer luck...
This situation is not uncommon in the magical world, after all, the existence of magic is full of mystery, unpredictable, and anything is possible.
But it's rare to gain complete magical knowledge all at once.
It's like a jar filled with gold dust being dumped into the sea, and Lynn, drunk, just casually scooped it all up from the water...
"Where is that potion merchant you mentioned who sells fake potions?" he asked casually, though he suspected that the fake potions might have the effect of greatly stimulating spirituality in a short period of time.
Only in this way could Lynn acquire so much magical knowledge at once.
However, Lynn was an apprentice mage at the time, and his physique was not strong enough to withstand such a powerful effect, so the accident happened.
If that's the case, then that potion merchant must know an extremely skilled apothecary, or perhaps he is one himself!
As the steward of the Golden Tower, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a talent who could create rare value.
Lynn blinked. "He was a very mysterious wandering merchant..."
He did go to the shop where the original owner first met Carlisle to look for him, but that shop had already closed down.
Luke patted Lynn on the shoulder with a complicated expression. "I understand. It's good that you're alright. I have to say, sometimes luck is also a part of your strength."
"Come with me, let's discuss your application for a patent for this magic." With that, he shut down the "Sea of Consensus" device in the magic evaluation room, and the magic patterns everywhere went out.
Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, his mastery of the "Frost Ring" has reached a perfect level.
If this were a higher-level spell, he could already be writing books about it.
Unfortunately, "Frost Ring," as a first-circle combat spell, is the least popular and most powerful focus spell, destined to be unpopular.
He secretly resolved that if he were to obtain any new magic from the "Grimoire of Origin" in the future, he would use it with caution to avoid causing trouble.
"Mr. Luke, do I need to demonstrate this magic to you again?" Lynn asked.
Luke smiled and shook his head. "When I activated the 'Sea of Consensus' device just now, I established a preliminary connection with it and was able to obtain basic information about your magic. Don't worry, this won't involve your privacy, after all, you are the first owner of this magic."
"On the other hand, this also makes it easier for me to monitor your status in the 'Sea of Consensus,' and if anything unexpected happens, I can pull you out at any time."
An accident? Didn't you say that the "Sea of Consensus" was absolutely safe...? Lynn thought to himself.
In fact, this connection can also detect whether Lynn has been tainted by evil, or whether the source of his magic is evil.
Clearly, the "Sea of Consensus" did not issue a warning to Luke, which means it passed the Magic Association's security check.
The magical community has always been very supportive and tolerant of the development of new types of magic that are unrelated to evil.
This positive atmosphere has also spurred the vigorous development of the magic patent industry.
The two returned together to Luke's private office on the second floor. This time, instead of going back to his desk, he led Lynn to sit down in a spacious leather chair, while he brought out a bottle of brightly colored wine and poured it for both of them.
It has to be said that Luke's aesthetic sense is, unsurprisingly... very extravagant.
Lynn discreetly surveyed the office's decor, which featured a striking mix of gold and black, exuding luxury. Even the paintings and decorations on the walls depicted beautiful women, fine wines, precious objects, and precious stones and gold.
This type of decor is commonly seen in the homes of merchants who have become rich overnight by mining magical ores.
He sipped his wine and said with a sigh, "To be honest, this is the first time I've ever encountered a case where someone has applied for a patent for perfectly mastered magic. Lynn, do you know what that means?"
Seeing Lynn shake his head, he continued, "First of all, I think I need to emphasize that the study of magic is directly linked to knowledge. Perfectly mastering magic means that you have mastered all the knowledge of that magic. Of course, this is relative, after all, there is no truly perfect thing in the world."
"But it already means that when you make the spellbook yourself, spellcasters who are spiritually gifted and whose magical level has reached the corresponding ring will be able to master the spell through the spellbook 100%."
A magic book that will surely teach someone magic! It saves a lot of money, time, and effort, making it an absolute rare find!
"You may not understand what this means, but I can tell you some data clearly. According to the statistics of the Golden Tower, under the condition of meeting the minimum learning requirements, the success rate of learning low-quality magic books is 30%, medium-quality is 50%, and high-quality is 70%."
Like the "Day and Night Unknown" spellbook that the old man Barton had taught him, because Barton was not very good at mental magic, he only had a proficient level of mastery. Therefore, the spellbook he made was only of medium quality. Even with some personal combat examples added, the success rate of learning was less than 60%.
However, because Lynn's spirituality was enhanced by the "Potion of Fate," far exceeding the level of ordinary mages of the same level, he was able to learn this magic relatively easily.
However, Luke remarked with considerable regret, "It's a pity it's only a first-circle spell, and a combat-focused one at that! It significantly reduces its appeal to the general market!"
"However," he changed the subject, "a perfect spell, a complete set of magical knowledge, is still incredibly valuable, and the scholars living in towers and underground research institutes would be willing to pay a high price for it!"
